#biopsy
I feel like an antiquity
some relic from the past
crumbling at the edges
eroded over time
aging has arrived
There are fissures in my proud steel plated armor
once invincible
reality is bringing with it a heavy blow
it creeps upon you
like a stealth thief in the night
now you berate yourself
for being caught unaware
new words slip into your vocabulary
things like “possible stroke”
a litany of tests are conducted
let’s begin with a blood test
maybe a ***** sample
we can schedule an MRI
is this a heart attack
there is a CAT or CT scan as it is known
what about the C word, cancer
let’s do an ultrasound
ff that doesn’t find it there is always
an endoscopy or colonoscopy complete with biopsy
the realization that life’s destiny is prevailing
is the end nigh
the relic you have become
looking at you in the mirror of life

I breathe, I close my eyes and I drift
I'm so happy, but still wanting to cry
Air fills my chest this is truly a gift
Bidding farewell to all that why
I open my eyes and breath again
Singing praise yet quietly screaming out
Releasing this dark aggressing bane
Grateful, now hopefully liberating doubt

An impending procedure looms
Results of which no one can assume
Nerves and butterflies with a dash of fear
Feeling helpless as the time grows near
I need peace of mind and a calm heart
Pleading with myself not to fall apart
Will it hurt or will I just hold back the tears
Will this all fade away or haunt me for years
I have no control and that's the worst feeling
The waiting and unknowing, praying for healing
